My chiffon dress instantly clung to my body, becoming semi-transparent and indecent.

"Let it go!" "Hmph!" The woman in the water scoffed, "Pretending to be all high and mighty. Take a good look at yourself.
How dare you show up innocently like this? Shameless bitch!" "Who are you talking about?" Ivanna yelled at the woman.

I looked over to see Liora, Stella, and a group of ostentatiously dressed women gleefully watching the scene.
I raised an eyebrow. It seemed like this little performance was calculated.
[stood there, drenched from head to toe, my hair sticking to my skin. As I hesitated about whether to respond, I heard a cold scoff, "Hmph! Some people dare to show their faces here. Who told you this is high society? If this is high society, how did someone as classless as you end up here?" I followed the voice and saw a woman in a white dress.
